Everything was all right until the hotel offered to let their spider deal with the hacking as it was happening on Horizon land. The IC wasn't too tough but the threat of an instant, possibly nexus-equipped, spider forced him to cover his tracks and log off.
With her "son" found almost simultaneously by Kitten and the security force the strange man concedes and Silk and LJ are treated to a meal each. Eventually it get to the point where you'd better not risk being on extraterritorial ground and you all leave, Luckily, Andromeda has a lead on The Bog.
You can either watch the Hotel or chase own the user who claims to know where the bog is.

[Kouryuu]

Around 15 minutes after that Andromeda's drone provides a Shadow BBS where talk is on the bog.
Most of it is rumours but one poster, Lendar223, swears he knows where it is, but isn't telling anyone.

"Can You, Space, do the trace, as I am not big as hacker or everything." Andromeda Stated Over the com, sending the information what her agent had gathered.

[Larzarus]

Roger that.

After retreting from the hotel spider, backed up by the power of Horizon servers, Space focuses on the new task about this Lendar223.

[Chrona]

He hasn't logged off, you could try negotiating, or tracing his meat location and trying in person.

[Larzarus]

The negotiation part is the working area of the teams face. Space focus on tracing the contact down, in case negotiation fails.

"So, what did you guys learn while I was chasing LJ across the hotel," Kitten asked as soon as they were all back in Habu.

[Larzarus]

"That the matrix security in this area is very tight. Hence, I can't tell you very much, but i'm tracing this other contact, with knowledge about the Bog, right now.

[Chrona]

The trace manages to run it's course to a bar, The Renton Hole in the Wall.

Back inside Habu, Silk's Oren-persona was showing some cracks in her normal apathetic appearance and mannerism; she's obviously upset she didn't manage to get more than a clean escape and a free lunch out of this, no matter how exclusive the restaurant.
"Right, that was a waste of time. I can get free meals for a lot less risk and effort  than that! Anyone else come up with something useful in the meanwhile?". She had started out reasonably calm but by the end of the sentence, she sounded and looked more angry. Her eyes darted over the other people in the cabin in search of a target at which to vent her anger, her eyes landed on her 'son'.

Silk realized she was losing her temper and took a deep breath. She regained control over herself. The change was sudden and complete. Had she been made of glass or stone, the sudden drop in temperature from boiling to freezing would have caused her to explode.
When she spoke to LJ she was calm and businesslike again, her voice or face showing no emotion at all... 
"LJ, just out of curiosity and to avoid future... misunderstandings, I was wondering if you were willing to share your motivation for dropping communication with the rest of your partners and if you were, when you decided to do so, fully aware of the complications such an action might have caused?"

[Larzarus]

Space foreward the location of the informant to Andromeda.

Back inside Habu, Silk's Oren-persona was showing some cracks in her normal apathetic appearance and mannerism; she's obviously upset she didn't manage to get more than a clean escape and a free lunch out of this, no matter how exclusive the restaurant.

"we got a lead in a board on someone who might know it's location, more than that, I do not think we have any other leads at the moment." Andromeda answered trough the intercom " Space trying to locate him n flesh, but he is still online you might want to try to talk to him in the matrix as well, do some distraction while we get to his meat." Silk gets the link to the board and the user account of this guy - Lenard223

"Got message from space, Going after Lenard223's meat. any voulunteers for the strike team? Shin is ready to roll, and the other can join in later with me and Habu"

[Xzylvador]

Comm: "Can you guys get any more info about this Lenard223; hobbies, interests? Info from his comm, browsing history, whatever?"

Silk loaded Aswan's SIN into her comm and logged into the board he was chatting in, running a brief search for the messages posted by Lenard223.

[Larzarus]

Comm: "Can you guys get any more info about this Lenard223; hobbies, interests? Info from his comm, browsing history, whatever?"

@team: "On it, outsourcing data search to browse-bot at the safehouse nexus."

With a quick switch of the channel, Space find himself at their borrowed nexus, where his search-agent already waits for new input. Space upload the user-name and the forum where Lenard223 was found. Switching back to his trace-result, Space takes a closer look at Lenard223 to estimate the difficulties to hack into his/her commlink. In other words, looking for the usuall parameters: Firewall and Analysis-rating and traces of IC aktivity near the firewall.
